It's the little things...

Wow! I have not blogged in a long time! I should be better about this. A quick update on my life...I am in a new place and absolutely LOVE it! I feel so at home and cozy and most of all safe. The job at the salon is going well and business is picking up. God has been so faithful with my dad's cancer and he has continued to be healed! I am patiently awaiting my precious nephew Beckett, who could be here anyday now. Brady, my nephew who is now 3, is growing up so fast and is such a sweet boy. Then in June I will have my first niece, Maci. Needless to say the Lord has blessed me with more than I could ask for!! So onto what I want to share...I have been looking for a car now since November, yes November. It has been very hard since I don't really have much credit established. Thankfully I still have my car now and it is still getting me where I need to go! After months of frustration and countless let downs, I was sure that today I was going to finally have a car. Well, not so much! I was dealing with two different people on two different cars. One of them being a private owner and the other a dealership. The private owner one was taken to my mechanic today and long story short it had too many problems. The second was at the dealership and I had been speaking with a man over the phone about it and awaiting the financial side of it. I got a text back from him saying that it was not going to work out. I was devastated!! Once again I got my hopes up and got let down. This man that I have never even met texted me back and said, "Don't give up! God has a plan for you!" As I was driving, I pulled over and began to cry. Tears pouring down my face, I thought to myself, this man does not know me from Adam, but God is using Him to remind me that HE is mindful of me and that HE has the perfect plan with all of this! I think sometimes we get so caught up in our daily lives and try to control it ourselves and do what WE want, we often forget that GOD is in control ALWAYS! He holds every single situation in HIS hands. I do not understand why this process is taking so long and why I do not have a car yet, but God does, and I can rest in knowing that. I have full trust in Him with this situation and everything else in my life. Sometimes it's the little things that pick us back up... Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with ALL your heart and lean not on your own understanding;in ALL your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight."
